John Black suggests this female high-jumper is Gay Porter. In the
left background is the Cadet Hut,
centre is the Route Hospital with its boiler-house chimney, and
at the right is the physics/chemistry block and the boys' changing
rooms.

A fairly close-run race. Kneeling behind the girl holding the
tape appears to be Miss Craig ("Craigie-Ann"), and standing
is Warnock Robinson.

L to R: Victor McElfatrick, Ivan Patrick. Boys did
not normally play hockey, so I think this must be half-time (note
the orange slice in Ivan's hand and the girls also eating in the
background) at the staff vs pupils match. In the upper right
background is the roof of St James' Church Hall.

John Reid on the way to a new long jump record.
About half-a-dozen in from the right on the front row is
David Corfield (grey sweater, short trousers), whose father owned
the Corfield factory (cameras, later alternators) in Ballymoney.
About 4 to the left again is Martin Neill (white shirt, long
trousers). The tallest boy at the back might be Victor McElfatrick;
and the girl 2 to the right of him looks like Elizabeth Holmes.
The Austin A50 Somerset car in the right background probably
belongs to Mr McGivern. Don Wright (games) asked me for copies of
these photos to help in coaching John.

A Saturday-morning parade from the station accompanying the visiting
rugby team from Boys Royal Academy (BRA), for the semi-final of
the Schools Cup. BRA narrowly beat the Dalriada 1st XV captained by
Alwyn McBride and including Philip Scott, Martyn Lewis, Kevin
Campbell and John Strong.
Trevor McCoubrey, Hugh Sayers, Martin Neill and others formed a
Supporters Club for the occasion and organised the march. Trevor and
Martin spent most of the pre-match night suitably modifying an old
Orange banner. (Which lodge was so careless as to leave its regalia
lying around for re-cycling in this manner?)
